Flex :: How To Use A String As An E4x Expression

Oct 2, 2009

Possible Duplicate:In Flash, how would I run an e4x statement when that statement is stored in a String?I know there is an existing question regarding this problem, but it got no replies.Ideally, I would like to stick an e4x expression in a string and run it.

var tempXML:XML = someXML;
var stringe4x:XML = "pictures.picture.(size > 200)";
tempXML.eval(pictures); //something instead of eval

Since AS3 doesn't have eval, this doesn't work; however, there is the ability to use elements() and attributes() to get the elements or attributes on the same XML node level, but this doesn't work for the more complicated e4x filters such as "(id > 300)" or ".." notation.

Flex :: Evaluate An Expression In A String?

Feb 4, 2011

I need to evaluate an expression in a string at run time . Not sure how to achieve this in Flex. My requirement is as follows

var test:String = "myparams.id=10" ;
//test will be a string populated at runtime.
// I need to treat it as an expression and evaluate it at runtime

[Code]....

is it possible to do something like this action script 3?

I believe the eval function earlier allowed this, but now it has been depreciated?

ActionScript 1/2 :: Convert From String To Expression?

Mar 16, 2009

I need to convert a string such as "x*y+2" (from an input text field) into an expression x*y+2, so that it can be evaluated normally, eg f=x*y+2. The variables x and y are already defined and can have various values; I need to evaluate the strings as expressions.

I have tried f=Number("x*y+2") but it seems to work only when the string is actually a number such as "1.2e-4".

Regex - Flex 3 Regular Expression?

Mar 11, 2010

I've written a url validator for a project I am working on. For my requirements it works great, except when the last part for the url goes longer than 22 characters it breaks. My expression:/((https?)://)([^s.]+.)+([^s.]+)(:d+/S+)/i

It expects input that looks like "http(s)://hostname:port/location". When I give it the input: https://demo10:443/111112222233333444445

it works, but if I pass the input https://demo10:443/1111122222333334444455

it breaks. You can test it out easily at[URL].. Oddly, I can't reproduce the problem with just the relevant (I would think) part /(:d+/S+)/i. I can have as many characters after the required / and it works great. Any ideas or known bugs?

Flex :: AIR SQLite IN Expression Not Working?

Mar 14, 2010

I'm having a problem with an expression in my sql statement in SQLite for Adobe AIR basically I have this sql = "UPDATE uniforms SET status=@status WHERE customerId IN(19,20)"; updateStmt.parameters["@status"] = args[1]; updateStmt.execute();

if I run the above code it works, updating the status when the id are 19 and 20

but if I pass the ids list as a parameter like this

sql = "UPDATE uniforms SET status=@status WHERE customerId IN(@ids)";
updateStmt.parameters["@status"] = args[1];
updateStmt.parameters["@ids"] = "19,20";
updateStmt.execute();

it gives me and error, saying could not convert text value to numeric value, which make sense because I'm passing and string but the IN expression should convert it accordingly, like it does when I pass directly the list values, why is not working the other way,

Python - Flex Regular Expression Conversion?

Nov 5, 2010

I'm having a problem converting a regular expression from Python into Flex. My string is something like this:

SELECT "col", othercol,

Python matches just fine:
>>> re.search('select(.*?)from', 'SELECT "col", othercol,

match always ends up null. What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it's obvious to a seasoned Flex programmer...

Regex :: Regular Expression To Check Comma Separated Number Values In Flex

Mar 10, 2011

find the suitable regular expression to validate a string that has comma separated numbers, for e.g. '1,2,3' or '111,234234,-09', etc. Anything else should be considered invalid. for e.g. '121as23' or '123-123' is invalid. I suppose this must be possible in Flex using regular expression but I can not find the correct regular expression.

String :: Flex - Download A String Variable As A File To The Local Machine?

I have a String variable in my flex (flash builder 4) application containing CSV data. I need to allow the user to download this data to a local file. For example, giving them a "csv" button to click and it might present them with a save file dialog (and I would be sending the contents of my string variable).Is this possible / how ?I am using the ResuableFX component for the datagrid to csv. This the code I ended up with that works to save the string to a text file for the user (in a web browser):

ActionScript 3.0 :: Property Value Changes When Used In An Expression?

Apr 9, 2011

I'm new to these forums and to actionscript as well, so please excuse my lack of clarity when explaining this situation, I'm learning on my own and in my free time!This isn't really a problem in the sense that I've found a workaround to it, but it's bugging me that I don't understand what's going on in this situation. In the last couple of weeks I have been working on a gridless pathfinding solution for a point & click game, I finally got it done, but I was stuck at some point for a few days and I discovered that there was an x property of a point I was referencing that kept changing back to a previous value assigned to it. I don't know if I'm making any sense, but so you guys see what I'm talking about:

ActionScript 2.0 :: Literal Value For Expression?

Feb 3, 2004

First a fabric button sets:

_root.fabricbuttonselected="_root.fabric01";

then the color button sets:

_root.selectedcolor=_root.fabricbuttonselected + "_chip10_name";

This returns the name of a variable:

"_root.fabric01_chip10_name"

however I have preset the variable to "Rose"

_root.fabric01_chip10_name = "Rose";

My dynamic text box is set to:

_root.selectedcolor

but instead of displaying "Rose" it displays"_root.fabric01_chip10_name" Basically I need to get the literal value to equal an expression- how do I do this?

ActionScript 2.0 :: Expression In Quotes Around The Word

I am scripting a button and something like this: _root.READ = ("image6"); takes me exactly where I want, the frame labeled "image6" However i want to reuse this button and I want to switch it to something like: _root.READ = (trace(this._name)); where it calls upon the instance name (image6). However, this doesn't work, and I believe it's because there are no quotes around the word. Is there someway I can output what the trace calls and put it in quotes?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Regular Expression To Add Tags?

I'm trying to create a replace method that allows me to surround parts of a string with tags. I tried this with a regular replace technique (join and split) but thats case sensitive. what i want is:

: "A nice example line"

and replace "Ice" in that line to surround it with bold tags, result:

text: "A n<b>ice</b> example line"

ActionScript Code:

ActionScript 3.0 :: When To Use Primary Expression Keyword (This)

Sep 18, 2009

I'm a complete novice to ActionScript, OOP and Flash. I have no idea when you are supposed to use the keyword "this". I have searched the forums but obviously searching for the word "this" is not very successful! I've read quite a few tutorials now and it seems that different people have different opinions on when and where it should be used. For example what should I be doing in the following class? Both seem to work but is one the "correct" way? Are there situations where things will not work if you omit the "this"?

ActionScript Code:
public class Sector {
private var _radius:Number;
public function Sector(radius:Number){
[B]this.[/B]_radius = radius;
} public function get radius():Number{
return this._radius;
} public function set radius(value:Number):void{
this._radius = value;
}}

I have another possibly related question with regards to naming conventions. I like the use of underscores for properties with getters and setters but what about the names of the constructor parameters that are used to initialise these properties? In the above example I have used "radius" for the constructor parameter although it is also used for the getter and setter functions. It seems a bit of a palaver to come up with different names for the same quantity but is what I have done really bad coding practice?

ActionScript 3.0 :: Using An Expression To Access An Array?

The essential code (for brevity) is like this:

//
var flv1cuePoint:Array = new Array(10,30,50);
var flv2cuePoint:Array = new Array(30,50,60);
